He could not control a compulsion to gamble--that's a lack of virtue. We all bet at the racetrack now & then or take a trip to Vegas, but the loss of millions indicates an addiction. We live 30min from our local racetrack; however, we average one, or at the most, two visits per yr. How many times must he have frequented Vegas to drop that amount of $$s.
Did he make any reference to his gambling problem in his "Virtue" books? If so, that qualifies as revelation to the public and in that case I would not be shocked. However, if he did not make one mention of this personal challenge in his life, it was either deception or denial.
